I've tried klonopin twice I think for presentations. One time I started to sweat like crazy when up there and my stutter was worse. The second no sweat, but stutter was bad too. On the other hand I...

It can either decrease or actually increase stuttering. It does make you care less about it though...

Do y’all find that SSRI’s help?

Do y’all find that SSRI’s help? I’ve heard anecdotally that SSRI’s (Lexapro, for example) can help reduce stuttering, since it helps with lowering anxiety in the first place. Is this true? Is there a ...

Travelling Australia

Travelling Australia Tldr: I'm travelling solo for the first time and getting nervous as fuck. I don't exactly know why, but I wanted to share this in this group. Probably mostly to just share it w...

Thank you for your honest response. I agree with you, and I hope more people are willing to sum up recent research studies and extract a few takeaway bullet points from them. PWS mainly use this subre...

Another 50 years? That seems overly optimistic. Anxiety/hypertonia/stress takes a toll on your body. I hope I can make it to 30. If I’m lucky enough, maybe 40. My heart and stomach are barely function...

My life is psychological torment

My life is psychological torment I feel so alone - no parents, no girlfriend, no friends. Every single time I try to talk to someone, I feel so anxious, much worse than I used to. I don’t fit in, I’m ...

Rejection makes me more insecure about myself, stutter included

Rejection makes me more insecure about myself, stutter included I went to an all girls high school, so that really didn't help me meet boys. But the key problem has always been my stutter. I can contr...

Tips to improve stuttering from the research: "fMRI study of initiation and inhibition of manual responses in PWS" (2020) (address the arousal factor, constant heightened inhibition state, overactive response suppression, perceived heightened demand, and error detection as a result of stuttering)

Amazing response! I loved reading it.. and I agree with you. This is my attempt to summarize your text into a vicious circle: 1. trauma \[negative experience\] \[hiding trauma\] \[feeding trauma\] 2...

I would say trauma. Some or many events on the past that had such on impact on us that change our way of looking at the world on a negative basis. It is a learned behaviour that served a purpose when...

oof he sounds like me....I have stuttered my whole life tried therapy and so many things ... I also breathe funny when I talk because I get anxious this really gives me hope...

All the time. I try to keep myself still and just let the emotions with thoughts burn. Once the fire is out, I'll be okayish. I also have a failsafe in my mind to keep me alive. The failsafe brings al...

Thank you for your response! What exactly can I explain better in the text? Basically, the research is about inhibitory control. The role of inhibitory control is stimulus orienting, interference cont...

Yes of course. So basically, the research states that the cause of stuttering is likely a dysfunction in the left hemisphere. That's the shortest and simplest I could answer.. and for the tips. Here a...

I think anxiety is only one factor. There are other factors that can be involved in stuttering such as being conflicted revolving certain conversation topics, or your identity as a whole. There’s al...

I’ve had a stutter my entire life which was mostly brought under control in early elementary school thanks to a very solid speech therapy program. Unfortunately, it isn’t something that will ever trul...

Don't equate your stutter and your anxiety. While they are most probably related, they are two separate issues. Live your life. Stuttering can only stop you if you let it....

If confidence doesn't fix my anxiety...nothing will.

If confidence doesn't fix my anxiety...nothing will. I have a dream of moving abroad, and experiencing life in another language. So I plan on hitting the gym as hard as I can, so I can have some confi...

There seems to be different types of stuttering and possibly multiple causes. The question that most of us ask ourselves, "is stuttering all in my head," "Is stuttering my fault?" Truly, yes, there is...
